Matthew McConaughey is not letting being blackmailed into sex at 15 or being molested by a man at 18 make him "afraid of relationships." McConaughey first detailed the two encounters he had in his memoir, "Greenlights," which was released in October last year. He appeared as a guest on "The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet" on Sunday to share that these negative experiences will not "beat him." "'I'm not going to be afraid of relationships because my first experience was blackmail.That's an aberration. No, no, that's not the way it is," he said on the podcast.
"And if I go on … and I'm not going to let it beat me. … I'm not going to let that beat my sense of trust in people and say, 'No, I can have a healthy relationship.'"

"Happened. Am I denying that it happened? No. I'm not denying that it happened.
Ugly," he said, describing the incidents. "I still get, even telling you this story, I get … but am I going to carry that? I chose, non-negotiabley, I'm not going to carry that, bring that baggage into the life I'm going to lead and how I treat people and how I trust people and how I look at circumstances and the risk I may take," McConaughey added. In the podcast episode, the "Interstellar" star opened up about when he was drugged and "knocked unconscious" before being put "in the back of a van" in Australia and being molested.
He also shared that a few years before this incident, he was blackmailed into sex at just 15 years old. Matthew McConaughey was blackmailed into sex at 15 and molested at 18. He is pictured in this photograph in
